Draft Zoning Ordinance:
The original Zoning Ordinance for the County of Appomattox was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 1988. Since that time, planning and zoning techniques have changed tremendously. Periodic reviews of planning tools such as the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance are necessary in order to manage growth in the County. One of the objectives of the Community Development Plan is to revise the Zoning Ordinance to more accurately implement the County’s land use goals. The Appomattox County Planning Commission is currently considering a revision to the Zoning Ordinance. Public input at this stage of the review is greatly appreciated. Please email any comments to
